Well I finally think I’ve got it worried. I did hope to have it finished this afternoon but then, what was I thinking, anything on this guitar was always going to take twice as long as planned!
Next then the neck picukup cavity. Needs to ba at least this much bigger…
With a small router take about 2 or 3mm off the edge….
That should do it…
Of course it didn’t. It also turns out the pickup scews are too long. Not a difficult fix, just another job to do.
With it all fitting in place at last all I had to do before screwing the top down was solder in the neck pickup and jack socket.
I’ve still had enough for the day so I’ll add some strings and complete the setup tomorrow. One last job before I pack up, the strap buttons. Surely nothing can go wrong with those, can it?
Well, no actually. I think it was the first step that should have been easy and was.
Look out tomorrow for hopefully the last post (if you will excuse the pun).
